Indiana League of Home Dailies Three boys, aged about twenty, held up a farmer near Lebanon the other day and got less than a dollar from him. Arrested, they en- j tered a plea of guilty and received j ten-year sentences to prison. Think | it pays boys? — - • Farmers who suffered from the j drought are now able to borrow fluids from the government under! that bill which they fought over for weeks in the recent session of congress, that is if the farmer lias stocks, bonds or gold to put up with the relieif committee. Can you imagine any thing sillier? Authorities in New York have ordeffed that profanity in theaters . niusj" cease. It got rather rough we * understand, the show which could create the most gossip be caust? of the various forms of damns used by the performers, at- j trading the greatest crowd. The order is right, the patron is the one to do the cussing. Several new buildings are to be erected here this year, further proof of the stability of this community and the faith of her citizens in the future. It is such progress as this that really counts J and it is such men as those who ara—thus investing, with courage _ aiuL» resources, who build worth whilg. It's a splendid sign. Fred Burke, killer, charged with twenty murders and that's perhaps only a part of the notches on his belt, will be tried in St. Joseph, Michigan, for the murder of a I policeman. That probably suits Burke for they stil have the life imprisonment limit up there and j Burke will probably feel that it j wilt take a stronger prison than has ; yetJjeen built to keep him fast the , rest of his life. At one filling station in Indian | apolis more than 1,000 break tickets were taken in exchange for gas. People supposed to be destitute secured the tickets from the eharitv organization and traded them i for gasoline. The tickets ought not be cashed and the participants! in such a deal deserve some kind of punishment. There are many angles in the problems of today. Many are interested in the various discussions of our readers on "“' numerous questions, as published! in our Voice of the People column. This can be matte a very Interest-

, jf AVOID UGLY PIMPLES 1 ■ Does a pimply face embarrass vou? ' ■ Get a package of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The skin should begin to clear after vou have taken the tablets ( a few nights, if you are like thousands of others. Help cleanse the blood, bowels and liver with Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, 1 the successful substitute for calomel; there's no sickness or pain after taking them. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets do that which calomel does, and just as effectively, but their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating. Thousands who take Olive Tablets are never cursed with a “dark brown taste,’’ a bad breath, a dull, listless, “no good” feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad disposition, pimply face. Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound: known bv their olive color. Dr. Edwards spent years among patients afflicted with liver and towel complaints and Oiive Tablets are the immensely effective result. Take nightly for a week. See how much better you feel and look. 15c, 30c, 60c. i

ing department of the paper. Wo are glad to publish your views, protided of course that your contrlhujtion Is signed and that you use argument and not libelous state-! uients. Remember they are your j opinions, frequently not ours, and! | that you ought to be willing to! 'assume thut responsibility. The March blizzard which occur- : red last week was unusually severe, the worst storm of the win ter and as a result a dozen or more ueaths are reported. The driver of la school bus and five of the chil-j jdren, marooned 35 hours nearj Towner, Colorado, were frozen to: death, dying heroically, for each i had given of his clothing to save : the younger children who were! passengers. Theirs was a brave) I effort arfd they deserved a better! fate.

A large life insurance company j has announced findings of a survey j of eight years, 1922 to 1930, and I makes the startling declaration j that 16% of all personal claims for | accidents during that period occurred in the homes, falls from chairs lor the bed, slipping in the bath tub lor tumbling down stairs. Sports j and recreations such as golf, baseball and tennis, caused five times j las many claims to be filed as the 'total of railroads, street cars, cle-i vated. subway and steamship lines. ' Seems as though we are in great- j est danger when we think we are ' safe, s@ the only thing to do is to ; be reasonably careful all the time. 1 —- Harold Feightner thinks that the i •* Frank Mayr crowd at Indianapolis are playing smart politics and will have to be reckoned with in the next state convention. Os course ; fliey will. They had to be consul- j jered in last year's convention and now with Mayr in the secretary of state's office, surrounded by such old time leaders as Billy O'Neil, Bob ('odd, Rudy Ackerman and others, it doesn't take much of a guesser to figure that what they want from the next democratic slate convention, they will stand a very good chance of getting. And why not? They are excellent men. 1 good democrats and fine citizens with wide influence. President Hoover got home alright from his visit to the Carribean, ten days of pleasure. Now he will settle down to business, the principle part of which it seems j will be to prepare some speeches that he hopes to so popularize him that he will be able to be renomin- 1 I ated next year. The greatest steps {along that line would be initiative i that would aid the country to get I back to a normal condition. I Speec hes w!!! "ut less figure in {next years campaign than action. The people are in no mood to pay serious attention to the old line of bunk. They don't care what causled the depression, but they do i want to know when it will lift and what a candidate's suggestions are I | towards that end and these will have tc be practical and sensible, j Lessons In English ♦ Words often misused: Do not say j "Jo! n started the work last week "! Say, “began the work." Often mispronounced: Euphonic. Pronounce u-fon-ik, u as in “unit", jo as in “on," i as in "it”, accent second syllable.

Often misspelled: Timbre (the quality of tone); distinguish from timber. Synonyms: Mutable, unstable, unsteady, fickle, changeful, inconstam, | variable.

V» production of eggs j '(■)) farms in England and Wales is j ,ii(iw marketed under tli“ National Mark scheme which passed into i*s third year irt February. The turnover of eggs packed under the National Mark, states the British Ministry of Agricultural ia ; the laitcr part of 1930 was consider i ahly higher than in Ihe corresponding months of 1929, an increase of 4 ) per cent being recorded during the period August to December. No tariff, or embargo, exists in Great Britain against imported eggs Approtimale’.y $25,000,009 worth of imparted eggs and poultry products ienter Great Britain annually. The, National Mark scheme has been fostered by *he Ministry of I Agriculture it is believed to cope j with the competition furnished by imported eggs from the Soniincct I and even canned ones from China ; and India. Approximately ICO million eggs were packed under the Murk in 1931 National Mark eggs-are the only home-produced eggs now quoted on l ie London Egg Exchange.

From north to south, anywhere and everywhere in Indiana grow•rs are reporting ..unusual success with certified Early Ohios and Irish Colters for early planting md Rural New Yorkers for late. |Of course, there are dozens of | varieties in this county but there j ir«> only a few best varieties and j - hey are • Cobblers, Ohios and nura's. Cobblers seem to do best an the lighter sandy soils while Oliir-s prefer a heavier loam soil. But both insist on having plenty of plant food and moisture to proline a big yield. For late plantings, yields of Rurals of from 3(H) to' 425 bushels per acre have been recorded along the Ohio river and up to the Michigan border. Rurals are the universal late variety for this section as they withstand hot dry weather and still produce a crop when other varieties fail. If you have had unfavorable results from any of these reliable varieties lay it ' to a poor seed or something else besides the variety. Most of the potatoes grown in •he Mate are badly diseased if they have 1 ->en grown here tor any length of time. For this reason they usually produce poor yield*. Certified seed has produced an average 58 bushels more potatoes than the average trom potato : seed when both were planted side i by side. This wide difference in ■ favor of certified seed is largely i due to the fact that it is grown for seed purposes, is of a good strain and Comparatively free from disease. Certified seed is potato seed that has been grown for seed pur--1 poses only: seed that, is eompara- i

This bears the name of grower, address; variety name, ! and the state in which the seed was grown along with the words '‘Certified 1 ’ or "Inspected" seed. Along with all this goes some Information on the card or the guarj autee tmek of the seed. So If you lave buying certified seed It's the ' best seed obtainable.
